this life

In the shadows where the echoes of my thoughts collide, Lost in a maze, where my demons like to bide, Heart heavy like a stone, in this life I confide, Searching for the peace, but the pain won’t subside. Creepin’ through the night, with a mind full of dread, Thsouloughts spiral like the barrel, wishin' I was dead, Memories haunt me, like ghosts in my head, Every choice I made, left a trail of lead. A soul trapped in a cage, where hope’s been misread, Life’s a twisted game, and I’m feelin’ misled, In a world full of fakes, where the real ones bled, I’m a shadow of a man, just a spirit instead. Echoes of the past, in the silence, I tread, Pull the trigger on my dreams, but the vision’s widespread, Fighting through the darkness, while the light’s overhead, But I’m already dead, in this life, I’m misled.
